📝 About the Event

• What we will be doing: We are excited to introduce our new Relaxed Kids sessions! Relaxed Kids is a gentle wellbeing session designed to help children feel calm, confident and happy. Through fun movement, simple breathing games and a soothing guided relaxation, children can unwind, build emotional resilience and enjoy a peaceful moment in their day. It’s a sensory‑friendly, inclusive workshop where every child can join in at their own pace and leave feeling settled and proud of themselves. We are aiming these session’s at SIBLINGS of the Little Hiccups registered child. We are planning two separate sessions, detailed below, and please note you NEED to be available to attend both sessions. For information what Relaxed kids is all about, please have a look through the website – Home – Relax Kids – Official Website
• Is it structured? Yes! Session one – One parent / carer and sibling will take part in structure session, exploring how to feel relaxed and creating a ‘Wellbeing Toolkit’. Session two – Sibling only (refreshments available for parent/carers in near by room. PARENTS NEED TO STAY ON SITE). The siblings will follow an exciting journey through space, using fun movement, simple breathing games and a soothing guided relaxation to build emotional resilience and enjoy a peaceful moment in their day.
• Who it’s for & Group Size: Session one is for a parent/carer and a sibling. Session two is for the sibling only (with refreshments onsite for parent/carer).  This is going to be a small group to ensure everyone feels comfortable and relaxed. This is aimed at 6 to 12 year olds.

If you can no longer make it, please cancel your places by emailing events@littlehiccups.co.uk so we can reallocate the spots and prevent charity funds from being lost.
